Teams need to know how people use their assets: what they download, what they search for, and how much storage a project uses. AEM Assets tracks this activity automatically and shows it in reports and an Insights dashboard, whether you work in the Assets view or the Admin view. This data helps you spot popular content, plan storage, and show the value of your DAM investment, without the manual work of log exports.
Assets view
In the Assets view, use Insights and Reports to understand how your assets are used. This video shows how to gain insights into your asset usage.
Admin view
In the Admin view, you open reports from AEM Tools > Assets > Reports, where you view or download any report you’ve already created, or build a new one from a report type, a path and date range, and the metadata columns you want to include. This video walks through the whole flow.
